Let’s learn about angle steel together.

Angle steel classification: Angle steel is generally classified into equal-sided angle steel and unequal-sided angle steel based on the dimensions of its two sides.

I. Equal-sided angle steel: Angle steel with two sides of the same length.

II. Unequal-sided angle steel: Angle steel with two sides of different lengths. Unequal-sided angle steel is further divided into unequal-sided equal-thickness angle steel and unequal-sided unequal-thickness angle steel based on the difference in the thickness of its two sides.

Characteristics of angle steel:

I. Its angled structure provides excellent load-bearing strength.

II. For the same load-bearing strength, angle steel is lighter in weight, consumes less material, and saves costs.

III. It offers greater flexibility in construction and occupies less space.

Due to its high cost-effectiveness, angle steel is widely used in various fields such as building construction, bridges, tunnels, power line towers, ships, supports, and steel structures, serving to support or fix structures.
